iN BOOKS, WHAT IS HARDCOVER TRADE CLOTH?

It appeears to be a dodge so some sellers can list books that are probably book club editions without admitting it. and buyers are not getting retail editions unless they ask first; and then it is up to a seller to say whether it's retail or book club.

Answered

I'm a book seller and I recently found that EBAY is designating my hardcover books as Trade Cloth. I came in here looking for what or why. I don't even know what it is or why it had to change. I describe my books as Hardcover or Softcover paperbacks. Amazon isn't changing their descriptions.
